Hi Sir,

Thanks. You mean there are two arrangements of OO? shouldn't it be 2!/2!=1? since there are identical, confuse. How about the number of arrangements of AABB? 4!/(2!2!) or 4!?

Thanks.

eh wrong de previous 1 should be 4! onli I am so sorry=)
1st question:
4! if you group OO together so BOKS.
den x 2! because OO can be swap
den / 2! because O same as O
so is 4!

2nd question
AABB
4! cause 4 alphabets
/ 2! cause 2 As
/2! cause 2 Bs
4!/2!2!=3!
